Security Assessment Solutions for IoT Devices

The Internet of Things (IoT) designates an entire ecosystem including a wide variety of physical objects capable of collecting data through sensors (i.e., connected objects), sharing and transmitting data through network and platforms that analyzes data. Thanks to IoT technology a significant growth in IoT devices are connected to each other and a plethora of economic opportunities can be created for different industries. This innovative technology holds promise for various fields ranging from health to energy, from manufacturing to transportation, from child care to protection of the elderly. With smart solutions including customer-facing technologies like mobile applications, complexity of operations can be reduced, lowering costs, and accelerating the time to market requirements. Therefore, IoT security is imperative, and new cyber-security issues have been proposed. This paper presents a review of Iot network layers threats that is the preliminary part of a growing need for effective solutions to assess the security of IoT equipment. By taking an innovative approach and leveraging best practices, we expect to make a meaningful contribution to secure the IoT ecosystem and building user confidence in these ever-evolving technologies.
